I was easing onto the floor when he got under me. I heard a crack. I was sure I broke his back and painfully killed my new little love. I rushed him to the vet. His lower teeth broke. They did an x-ray. His jaw broke where the abscess I posted about before had weakened it. I feel horrible. This happened last Friday. I've been feeding him a pellet mush with added fiber, per vet instruction. He has antibiotics and pain meds. I put a tiny bit of strawberry and banana in his mush. He acts like he doesn't even know he's broken. I think he just thinks he's spoiled with special food, he gets so excited! His behavior has not changed, though he was standoffish for a day or two. The cage he shares with Groucho has a divider, so they can be separate but together. They snuggle through the bars. He is pooping and peeing fine. We go back to the vet in a couple weeks. I still feel terrible, though. At least I'm slow getting on the floor. If I'd plopped onto him, he'd be gone. I know accidents happen, but I cry every day thinking about how I hurt my baby.
